The U.S. military struck targets in Iran on Tuesday, followed by Iranian retaliation with missile and drone attacks across the region, reigniting a conflict that has dragged on for over six months. A U.S. strike targeted a wedding venue, resulting in the deaths of five people and injuries to dozens, according to local officials.
Central Command announced that the latest round of U.S. strikes targeted air defense sites, radar systems, and maritime assets in Iran. The attacks followed a series of U.S. strikes on Sunday, which had abruptly halted a month-long lull in military activity, potentially escalating a conflict that has driven global oil prices higher and created political challenges for Republicans ahead of the November midterm elections.
President Trump had signaled a shift in approach, aiming to compel Iran to comply through economic sanctions. Trump warned that if Iran retaliated against the U.S., it would face "a much harder and higher level" of retaliation.
